I just wanted to confirm that this strategy worked to install 0.1.5 on
Ubuntu Breezy.  I'm frankly amazed that it was so clean an install.

# apt-get install f-spot
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  binfmt-support libdbus-1-cil libgconf2.0-cil libglade2.0-cil libglib2.0-cil
  libgnome2.0-cil libgtk2.0-cil libmono0 mono-classlib-1.0 mono-common
  mono-jit)

# apt-get build-dep f-spot
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  liblinc-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  build-essential cdbs cli-common dpatch g++ g++-4.0 libbonobo2-dev
  libbonoboui2-dev libexif-dev libgconf2-dev libgnome-keyring-dev
  libgnome2-dev libgnomecanvas2-dev libgnomeui-dev libgnomevfs2-dev
  libgphoto2-2-dev libidl-dev libmono-dev liborbit2-dev libsqlite0-dev
  libstdc++6-4.0-dev mono-mcs mono-utils

# mkdir /usr/src/f-spot ; cd /usr/src/f-spot
# wget http://ftp.gnome.org/Public/GNOME/sources/f-spot/0.1/f-spot-0.1.5.tar.bz2
# tar -xjvf f-spot-0.1.5.tar.bz2
# cd f-spot-0.1.5
# ./configure; make; make check
# make install

...and the new version's installed in /usr/local/bin/f-spot

Easy as pie.

The new version looks great.  Thanks to all, especially Thomas for
pointing out 'apt-get build-dep'.

Hi,

I think (but haven't really tested) that

       apt-get build-dep f-spot

 should get your ubuntu more or less in shape for building f-spot from
source or from CVS.

Hth,
Thomas
